BosToN, Sept. 1.-The Butler club
banQuetted Gen. B. T. Butler tonight,

S. Boutwell,, Gen. William Cogswell.
Hon. n. A. Plympton, Gen. Stephen
Thomas, Gen. Cilley, Department Com
mander Nash, Corporal Tanner and
many other well. known gentlemen.
Gen. Butler in a speech advocated
GreenbackiSm and declared every the
Ory of finance he had ever held
had eventually been adopted.
He blamed the Democratic party for
the accumulation OF the vast surplus in
the treasury and the impairment of the
country'S business interests. The sur
plus ought to be used in paving service
pensions to Union soldiers, and after
they had all been provided for, the
country should devote the surplus to
administering to the interests of the
DISABLED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.
They were not to blame for the war,
but only suffered from it. [Applause. /

teen years ago, and been much abused
for it. Mayor O'Brien was next intro
duced and made brief speech. Corp.
Tanner, the next speaker, heartily ill-
dorSed Gen. Buffers scheme for serv-
ice pension. He thought President
Cleveland made great mistake in
not going to st. Louis. If a
few offered him insult the great mass of
the Grand Army would take these men
by the throat and silence them for ever.
[Great applause. The Grand Army of
the Republic. he said, will never refuse
loyalty to the man who occupies the
seat made immortal by Lincoln. Hon.
Leopold Morse also spoke, and letters
were read from Gen. Sherman, Senator

TIMBER CUTTING.
A Case in Which Two Sorts of
Stories Are Told.

STORIES Are IOIO.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The secretary
of the interior has received from Pres
ident Harris, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, a communication
dated Aug. 90, in which he states that
he is advised that Special Agent Frost,
of the general land office, has closed
certain sawmills which were manu-
featuring lumber cut from pub
lie lands for the construction
of the Cascade branch of
that road, claiming that the work now
being done does not come under the
head of .'original construction as con-
templated by the law. President Harris
states that this timber is required for
tunnel now in process of construction,
and for snow sheds on the line now i'm
operation, and that it is clear that the
company has the same right to cut tim
Der on the unSurveyed lands for these
purposes as for bridges and ties.
He asks that Agent Frost be di-
rected hot to interfere with the con-
tractors who are cutting timber from
lands adjacent to the line of the road.
President Harris, letter was referred to
the commissioner of the general land
Office for report, i'll response to V h ch
Acting Commissioner StockSlager trans
mltS telegram from Agent Frost in
which he states that the agents of the
Northern Pacific company and num-
Der of saw mill companies are rapidly
devastating the public lands of their
valuable material without regard to
the rules and regulations of
the land department, unless at once put
a stop to, the damage to the government
will be irreparable. The acting COM
missioner recommends that the attorney
general be requested to at once take
snch steps as may be necessary to fully
protect the interests of the government.
Acting upon this suggestion, Acting
Secretary Muldrow has requested the
attorney general to direct the United
States attorney for Washington terri
tory to take prompt action in the mat
ter, having due regard to the rights of
the railroad company under the law.

Letters received here from New York
state show that Slocum will not have

HE DIED WITH NERVE.
A Brutal Assassin Expiates His
Crime on the GaIlows.


COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 1.-Josiah Ter
rell was executed at 1890 this morning.
and proclaimed his innocence after he
had been brought upon the scaffold.
The execution took place in
the annex the penitentiary,
and about fifty persons witnessed it.
He slept up to IL p. m. and then ate
lunch, and after smoking was ready to
proceed to the scaffOld. His exhibition
of nerve was something wonderful and
those who had seen many hangingS
before stated that they had never
witnessed one in which there was so
much quiet determination exhibited.
The body will be sent to Pomeroy for
burial. The crime was the murder of
Charles Phelps, about sixty years of
age, who lived near Pome-
roy, Meigs comfy. The murder was
supposed to have been committed
on the 9th of January last. when Phelps
was seen for the last time alive. He
was discovered two days later lying on
the floor of his hut, with his feet to the
fire and his head frozen in a pool of
blood to the floor. The murderer had
evidently entered the house and struck
Phelps unawareS and then plunged a
knife into his throat, as cash was cut
half way across his neck. An overcOat
and hand glass with several dollars in
money had been taken, the former
being found in the possession
of Terrill when he was ar
rested. Phelps was harmless
and inoffensive old man, being cripple,
and it is supposed he was murdered for
his money, as he had been robbed the
August previous. He was miser and
accumulated his small earnings. Ter
rill was convicted wholly on circum-
stantial evidence, the stolen articles
being found in his possession and posi-
tiyelV identified.
